Landau has produced the two highest grossing movies of all-time,
"Avatar" and "Titanic." In addition, he produced Steven Soderbergh's
"Solaris," co-produced Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" and "Honey, I Shrunk
the Kids." As executive vice president of feature film production at
Twentieth Century Fox in the early 1990s, he supervised production on
all major motion pictures, including "Die Hard 2," "Mrs. Doubtfire,"
"True Lies," "Power Rangers," "Aliens 3" and "Last of the Mohicans."

Landau thoroughly understands the most complex state-of-the-art visual
effects technologies and has been instrumental in licensing and
marketing his films across various global platforms. In addition to
producing, Landau pro-actively works with companies and individuals in
the entertainment industry to push cinematic technologies to new levels.

Kevin Gage, NAB chief technology officer and head of NAB Labs said, "Jon
Landau constantly works to improve the filmmaking process, even after
having achieved enormous success. Attendees at NAB Show’s Technology
Summit on Cinema will benefit from his knowledge of how cutting-edge
technologies enhance the art of storytelling."

NAB Show and SMPTE’s Technology Summit on Cinema brings together the
world’s leading motion-imaging researchers, scientists, practitioners,
manufacturers, filmmakers, movie theater operators and other experts
focused on advancing the state of the art in cinema. The two-day summit
will address critical topics such as the latest on higher-frame-rate
cinema, perceptual requirements for higher quality image and sound, new
technologies for exhibition and advantages and pitfalls of 3D film
conversion.
